Tosside and Bolton-by-Bowland

Project Description

The nearest village is Tosside – just two miles away. The recently-opened Bowland Fell Park Farm Shop is next to Crow Trees Inn, just out of the village, and sells a selection of locally-produced food, such as Blue Pig sausages, bacon and black pudding. You’ll get a hearty home-cooked meal in Tosside at The Old Vicarage Tearoom, with outside seating and a drinks licence (www.tossidetearoom.org). The Bowland Restaurant at Crow Trees Inn serves real ales and food (bowlandfell.com/yorkshire-holiday-park/crowtrees-inn).

A further six miles on from Tosside is the picturesque Lancashire village of Bolton-by-Bowland, which boasts a fabulous country pub – the Coach and Horses (coachandhorsesribblevalley.co.uk). Just out of the village is Holden Clough Nursery, which is a lovely little garden centre with a great café – The Garden Kitchen (holdencloughnursery.com). It’s famous for its ‘Afternoon Picnics’ – book in advance. Bolton-by-Bowland has a pretty church and green, and lots of walks start from the village – bolton-by-bowland.org/walks.

Peaks and Pods: This project was partly funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development. The creation of the luxury camping pod site is aimed to attract visitors to the local area all year round, to create employment and to provide an opportunity for a traditional farm to diversify.
